Creating Life

Frankenstein created life, but not in the usual way. If I had the power to do the same, I probably wouldn't. I am a lazy person, and creating a creature like Frankenstein did, just takes too much scientific work and thought. Sure, I think having an abnormal creature roaming the halls in my house would be fun, but I don't want to make it myself!

Plus, I probably wouldn't feed, teach, or take care of the life. As a matter of fact, it would probably die, just like my goldfish. I tend to forget about responsibilities of mine, so maybe I'm not even cut out to make a lively creature such as Frankenstein.

If I were given the power to create life, I definitely wouldn't be superfluous. The idea of it just doesn't float my boat.

My Thaughts on Frankenstein

My 2B English class will soon be instructed to read Frankenstein. At first I was not amused, but mostly because I don't want to read yet, another book. Then, I realized that this may be an interesting book to read because the story is a bit more on the fictional side, which I tend to enjoy. The fact that Frankenstein was written by a 19 year old girl is a little surprising. Considering the plot, I would picture an adult male to conjure this story,not a teenage female.

I do not know many detils about this book or the story, I have never even watched the movie. This book will broaden my view on the topic: can man create life? Well, they certaintly do, everyday. Maybe not "Frankenstein" life, but people? Yes. As far as the sorcerer's stone and immortality, I have no belief whatsoever.

I haven't read any of the Harry Potter series therefore I cannot connect Frankenstein to them, but maybe this book will bring me to read more. I doubt it but at least it will be interesting! I am ready to read Frankenstein.

2012 Theme Word

My word for 2012 is tranquil. I chose tranquil because I mostly find myself becoming stressed and anxious. When I am stressed I become very on edge and crack underneath the slightest pressure. Then, my anger gets the best of my and my rage can control my actions. We gingers tend to have a high temper. This year I hope to be more calm, collected, and peaceful: tranquil.

For example, when I have a big paper, project, or test coming up, I don't have to walk around anxious and tense. I can be tranquil, clear my mind, and study/accomplish my work. The word tranquil, very unwonted, has a ring to it, I don't use it often, but I suppose I could slip it in a sentence once in a while.

Throughout 2012 I will strive to use the word, and to be tranquil. Maybe I can mellow out and forget temper and stress. Hopefully, because walking around with the weight of the world on my shoulders is not the party I intend on enjoying.
